remember ronald reagan in 1984. he seemed so out of it. the people were wondering whether he was too old to be president. i think they are simply not ever questioned. they are never held to task like this. megyn: accept your former boss. >> in america we ought to put together a question hour like they have in parliament in the u.k. that would keep the president on their toes. inside the white house there is a bubble where the president does not have to parry like that with another individual. that exposed a weakness in obama. he was not used to that. this was romney's 20th debate in the last year, year and a half. i think we'll see a different president obama next time. megyn: i want to pick up on that. jonah, when we saw president obama yesterday afternoon this time back in front of the teleprompter he sounding like his old self. he had the good lines and the quick firey retoarts and some zingers. average course his supporters were say where was he last night? but others are saying because that guy can't exist without the teleprompter. it
